Villages

Farmer

Village is in beautiful place with few houses and some people are living there. Full of trees and good climate is there. Fresh air and clean water is available there. There the people are innocent and they work in the field. There is other idea only they think always how to grow good crop. Farmers are good people. There is no pollution. There no corruption.

Villages are the backbones of a country. As Gandhi put it with reference to our country, India lives in her villages. It is from the villages that we get the food that our life-blood. With out the toil of the villagers the urban population would the helpless. Hence it would be a good thing to live in the villages and also share in the type of work the people there do.

Apart from the fact that it is the villagers who give us food, it should be remembered that their life is simple. As their life is simple, and their wants is few. In the calm, fresh atmosphere it is also possible to live calm lives. We would be far the madding crowed and the various types of pollution of which civilized man, the urban man, is a victim. From the point of view of improving our health also in the village would be worth while and good.

Life in villages and life in cities are totally different from each other. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. There is a call from politicians and other leaders that we must go to villages. It is true that our villages should be developed. This fact itself goes to prove that life in villages is not all that it should be.

Today, people in the villages are mostly in the grip of ignorance-ignorance of many of the basic necessities of live. They are steeped in ignorance, superstition and age old habits and customs. The do not easily take to modern methods of life, even if they are conductive to the development of their life. They do not easily listen to the views of others, and do not also welcome strangers in their midst. Hence, it would be useless to live in villages.

Moreover, village life to –day is not what it was before, in farmer days. People there have come to be aquatinted with almost all the modern discoveries and inventions. Urban life has intruded into rural life. Hence, if one goes to the village to –day, it will be only getting into a smaller city and not a village. We would be carrying with us our urban appliances and atmosphere.
